Zinwave To Demonstrate Future-Proof DAS at Realcomm Conference

UNItivity System Delivers Public Safety and Cellular Service Plus Support for New Frequencies Without Hardware Upgrades

Dallas, TX – June 16, 2016 – Zinwave, a global provider of wideband distributed network solutions for in-building wireless, today announced that it will showcase its UNItivity distributed wireless access solution (DAS) at the Realcomm Show 2016 being held on June 21-24 at the San Jose Convention Center in San Jose, Calif. In booth 315, Zinwave will demonstrate the industry’s only DAS that supports all current cellular and public safety frequencies and can accommodate the addition of future frequencies without the need for hardware upgrades.

UNItivity’s wideband architecture is ideal for commercial and multi-dwelling buildings because it supports frequencies from 150 to 2700 MHz, providing access for any public safety or cellular frequency, and it does so without the need for hardware upgrades. The system has been selected for deployment in many commercial projects, including the 21-story Centerra Tower in downtown San Jose. UNItivity is easy and less expensive to install because it uses a streamlined design that includes just two components: a primary/secondary hub, and a thin, ceiling-mounted remote unit.

As an all-fiber system, Zinwave’s UNItivity DAS is an ideal solution for commercial and multi-dwelling buildings because cabling can extend for more than a dozen kilometers (supporting buildings of any size) while delivering uniformly high performance at each antenna location. UNItivity also delivers the lowest total cost of ownership (TCO) because it natively handles a wide range of current and future cellular and public safety frequency bands, so expensive and disruptive equipment upgrades aren’t needed when new bands go into service.

“Building occupants and first responders demand uniform, high-performance wireless services wherever they go within a structure,” said John Spindler, vice president of marketing at Zinwave. “Our wideband, simplified DAS architecture delivers outstanding performance with the industry’s lowest TCO, making it the best choice for buildings worldwide.”
